Yet again charity bag theft has been in the spotlight this time on The One Show where the presenter went along with the police to raid a warehouse stacked with bags from recognisable charities and plenty from fake organisations.
This time the public have been called on to make sure they are responding to genuine requests for donations by taking a good look at the parcelled up bags that drop on their doorsteps.
It really is important to check that the bag has a charity number on it, a landline number you can contact in case you want to check the charity is staging a legitimate collection in your area.
It is only with the help of the public that we can continue to stay on top of these tricksters.
